Thankful

Last night, I was typing an email to a friend telling her about what has been going on with me and as I was typing I began to realize how thankful I am.  Sometimes, I think we get so caught up in worldly things that we forget to be thankful for everything that is around us.  At times, I believe that we tend to take some things for granted.

Here are some of the things that I am Thankful for:

• A God who loves me for who I am and forgives me.
• A husband who loves me and takes care of me.  
• A son who has grown up to be an exceptional adult and who makes thisMother very proud.  I love him more than words can ever say.  
• A daughter who is a fantastic mother and wife, whom I am also very proud of.  
• A grandson, who makes me smile.
• Parents who have taught me what love, work and life is all about.  Without them, I would be nothing.  
• A Sister whom I love dearly and am so blessed to have.
• The remainder of my family who has touched my life in one way or the other.
• My friends.  I have been blessed with some wonderful friends and some of whom I consider more like family.  
• My job.
• My writing.

I could go on and on, but I believe that these are the most important things I am thankful for.  Being thankful is a very important part of our Pantry.  When when we are thankful for the things in our lives, God receives all the praise, honor and glory. 

Here are a few things to think on today:  

• From Joyce Meyer Ministries-Try to get through the day without uttering one complaint.  Be thankful and say so.
• From Joel Olsteen Ministries-When you fill your word's with God's word, you set the winds of change in motion.  You receive more of what God has for you, and you become a blessing to everyone and everything around you.  

What are you thankful for today?  Will you be a blessing to everyone and everything around you?  I hope I am.  Be blessed today my friends.
